Hotel de Naturaleza Rodalquilar & Spa Cabo de Gata

"I hated my 3 nights stay at this hotel. Everything was a struggle. Toiletries and loo roll for the first 2 days have not been replenished; I had to go and fetch them in the toilet down near the spa. The TV was not synchronised with the remote, eventually was changed and worked, the safe was not working, the room was dark and uncomfortable with a monstruosity for a headboard. No kettle in the room. Breakfast was already scarse and if you don’t eat anything with sugar added nor process meat, was very little left. The pool and all outdoor area extremely unkempt, chairs covered with birds poo, stained sun loungers, no paddings nor a towel on sight. Should not be advertised at this time of the year if not maintained and customers are unable to use it. I cannot believe this is a 4 stars hotel. One of the lady at reception stunk of cigarettes smoke; very unpleasant when she came to look into the issue with the TV and left a trail of smell behind. Catalina on the other end was very informative."

Hotel Don Ignacio

"What a gem! The hotel is right by the beautiful beach of San Jose, and is easy reach of a host of restaurants, bars and cafes. The hotel is well appointed, the room was spacious, well appointed, clean and comfortable. The hotel provides a buffet breakfast which was very good. The terrace around the pool is excellent, and the pool was perfect. The Sky bar provides stunning views over San Jose. The whole team of the hotel were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. When they found out it was husband’s birthday they even surprised him with a birthday cake 🎂. We will be going again."

Cortijo Boutique Siete Calas

"We had a wonderful week here in February, staying in El Playazo, with its own private roof terrace. This is a very special place, so tranquil and so beautiful. Every detail in our room was thought out, from good bedside lighting, to plentiful coat hangers, with a huge shower with lots of hot water and super-comfortable bed. Julia was helpfulness itself - nothing was too much trouble and she helped us with good eating out recommendations on the Monday and Tuesday night when there was no dinner available at the hotel. We had excellent picnics provided for us and enjoyed walking to the empty and beautiful beach down the volcanic trails. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough - it is absolutely exceptional. And with Samambar in the nearby village, you have very fine eating too."

Apartahotel Vistamar San José

"Snyggt utsikt, bra service, stor lägenhet, men om du har något problem med ryggen som i mitt fall, sängen är hård och jag kom hit direkt för att gå på gymmet."

Cortijo El Sotillo

"Detta hotell, en gammal gästhus ligger vid ingången till San José är perfekt för några dagars avkopplande i hjärtat av kattkabel. Stora och bekväma rum med privat terrass. Det ligger i ett idealiskt område för att gå till naturparken och dess stränder och gräsmattar. Det har en restaurang som erbjuder en bra mat, vi väljer halvpension och erbjuder en stängd meny med flera måltider att välja. "

Oro y Luz

"We stayed here two nights as part of a walking trip. We found it excellent - Anna was very welcoming and enthusiastic. The room was very spacious with views of the sierra - such different country to what we had seen before. Dinners and breakfasts were very good indeed. Chef Alfredo provided very interesting and tasty menus, together with an extensive Spanish wine list. Can highly recommend."

Cortijo Los Malenos

"El Cortijo de los Malenos has been, for me, a place to truly disconnect. I would especially recommend it out of season, when you can enjoy even more the silence and calm that this place offers. At this time of year there is no daily housekeeping service or breakfast, and far from being a drawback, for us it was part of its charm: a space designed to rest, connect with nature and enjoy complete privacy. There is also the option of staying in an apartment. The bed and pillows feel like an embrace, and the quality of the towels is simply outstanding. It is located just five minutes from Agua Amarga, with all necessary services, and very close to stunning beaches such as Playa de los Muertos or Cala de Enmedio, as well as restaurants like La Chumbera, where the red prawn tartare and the steak tartare with bone marrow are, quite literally, unforgettable. The location is ideal, allowing you to move around easily without giving up the tranquility of the surroundings. The cortijo is a wonderful combination of peace, nature and art. During our stay there was a sculpture exhibition, which was the icing on the cake. Listening to the silence, surrounded by such a beautiful setting, has been one of those small luxuries that are hard to find. I would especially like to highlight Aurora and her team, whose service has been exceptional. They are not constantly visible, but they are always there whenever you need them, with immediate, warm attention and a truly exquisite sense of customer care. A place I will definitely return to to rest, breathe and reconnect."
